Howdy!

I’m finally breaking my blogging silence to let y’all know about a new book that has just been released!

I really loved Book 1 of the For Liberty and Conscience series when I read it several years ago. (You can find my review post for Book 1 here.) And I’m so stoked that Book 2 is finally out! Life has been crazy for me lately, and I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, though. So today’s post is just to let you know it’s finally available for purchase.

But if you’ve already spent your book money for the month, then you’ll be happy to know that there is a giveaway going on (for both books in the series)! So be sure to stick around until the end for it!!

Now here’s everything you need to know about Patriot at the River.

About the Series

Patriot at the River is the second book of the For Liberty and Conscience trilogy, which combines early American history with Christ-centered fiction. Though Patriot at the River can be read as a standalone, readers will enjoy the return of several characters from the first book in the series, Preacher on the Run.

About the Book

THE FIGHT HE GOT WASN’T THE FIGHT HE WANTED.

It’s 1780, and North Carolina is a battleground. Backcountry scout Benjamin Woodbridge is guarding a Patriot camp when he sees the king’s men pursuing a civilian. Never one to stand by while someone is in trouble, Benjamin steps in to help the stranger and finds an unexpected ally.

But the same British officer who targeted the stranger is also targeting Benjamin’s settlement. After Benjamin is wounded on a lonely mountain trail, he watches Sunrising fall to the man who crushed his father’s cause nine years earlier. Benjamin’s fight has come home to the very people he wanted to protect—his shy younger sister and the woman who has given them both a home.

Now, with the help of some unlikely comrades and the indomitable Aunt Kate, Benjamin must fight for what he loves before Sunrising goes up in flames. But only if he can fight himself first.

Perfect for fans of Christian historical fiction and tales of bravery and redemption, Patriot at the River combines engaging characters, daring action, and biblical truth. Read now and step into an adventure of faith and freedom.

Endorsements

“A fast-paced tale, Patriot at the River captures the spirit of the American Revolution in spades. Through courageous flesh-and-blood characters in the Carolina backcountry who are the embodiment of soul liberty, this well-layered novel offers a fresh look at freedom and those who fought to win it not only for themselves but generations to come. Huzzah!”
—Laura Frantz, Christy Award–winning author of The Frontiersman’s Daughter

“I am so impressed with Jayna Baas and this story! Intense, at times heartstopping, richly textured and steeped in an authentic Carolina backcountry voice. Reading it felt like visiting old friends that I hadn’t yet met.”
—Shannon McNear, Selah Award winner and author of Daughters of the Lost Colony

“If you’re looking for a story filled with adventure, faith, biblical values, history, and characters you’ll love, look no further than Patriot at the River.”
—Kristina Hall, author of Trouble in Dry Springs

When she’s not writing her own books or editing other people’s books, Jayna seeks out new adventures on the screen, on the page, and in the kitchen. She also loves to spend time with her great family of real people and the family of pretend people who live in her head. (Yes, she does know her characters are not real. No, she does not want you to tell them she said so.)

Although her love of words extends to multiple genres, Jayna’s favorite story is this: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
